SEATRU

Let's help to make a difference!

Have you ever heard of SEATRU? If not, this is a good time to learn about this. SEATRU, is Sea Turtle Research Unit by Universiti Malaysia Terengganu. I have never heard of this until my cousin told us about it. She's the future vet!

Anyway, it's a voluntary programme which you go to Pulau Redang for a week to help to save the sea turtles. From my cousin's experience, they went there for a week, waited for the sea turtle to come to the beach to lay eggs. Then, they collected the eggs and waited for them to hatch. After hatching, they will take care for the babies for a day or two (I don't remember) and released them back into the sea.

For those who think this is purely for fun, please take note that you will have to do some night shifts.

I'm planning to register for this programme. According to my cousin, the programme is opened for registration on February. And the period for the programme is from May to August. Sounds good to me!

Anyone interested?
